Pupil's Book, Unit 9 page 113 6 Listen and read Jasmin's diary. What did they use to find their way? Saturday July 15th Day five in Mexico! Today was very interesting. We went to visit a pyramid at the top of the Tepozteco Mountain in Morelos. It was a beautiful walk. We went past waterfalls and amazing rainforests! We walked very far because the pyramid is very high up the mountain. On the way, we saw lots of lizards. We rested at the top of the mountain and we had a picnic. The view was lovely; we could look down on the beautiful town of Tepoztlan. Danny took lots of pictures. When we were preparing to go back down the mountain, disaster happened! Danny fell and our compass broke. Oh no! How could we find our way with no compass? We couldn't look at the stars because it was day time. Danny wanted to make a compass but we didn't have the right materials. Then Mum found the solution. The sun was getting lower in the sky. Of course! The sun rises in the east and it sets in the west. Now we knew where west was and it was easy to find south. We arrived back at the hotel hot and dirty, but safe. Mum is now the superhero of the family. What's going to happen to us tomorrow?

Pupil's Book, Unit 9 page 114 THE STORY OF POPOCATEPETL AND IZTACCIHUATL Harry and Sophie were on holiday in Mexico with their cousins, Jaime and Alicia. Before they went home, they wanted to climb Popocatepetl. Popocatepetl is a volcano not very far from Mexico City. The night before the climb, they camped at the bottom of the volcano with their mountain climbing guide. Harry and Jaime looked up at the volcano covered with snow. ‘It's going to be exciting tomorrow, ' said Jaime. Harry was excited, too. ‘What a strange shape that other mountain is, ' said Sophie suddenly. ‘It looks like a woman lying down. ' The guide looked where she was pointing. ‘Yes, ' he said. ‘It does. That's a volcano, too. Let's put up the tents before it gets dark, and then I can tell you the story of the two volcanoes. ' After they put up the tents, they all sat down and they listened to the story of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl. It was very interesting. ‘Long ago, there was a beautiful princess called Iztaccihuatl. Popocatepetl was a young warrior. He was in love with the beautiful princess and she was in love with him. But before they could get married, another dangerous tribe attacked their tribe. The leader of Popocatepetl's tribe spoke to him. “ We need you to help our tribe before you marry my daughter, " he said. Popocatepetl had to say goodbye to Iztaccihuatl, and go and fight. ‘Iztaccihuatl was lonely and sad. One day she heard that Popocatepetl was dead. She became very ill. In the end, she died of a broken heart. ‘But Popocatepetl wasn't dead. Very soon, he returned. When he discovered that Iztaccihuatl was dead, he picked up her body in his arms and carried her away. He laid her down on the ground in a quiet place, and sat down next to her. Snow fell and covered their two bodies. ' The guide stopped and pointed up at the two mountains in front of them. ‘Look! Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl are still there! They are the two volcanoes. '
